When I arrived near the apartment, I went into the silk shop of the family who owns and takes care of the apartment. The mother of the family greeted me warmly. She considerately encouraged me to catch my breath (it was hot & humid the day I arrived). After I did this, she took me and a guy who helped with my luggage, up to the apartment which is a new, modern, & luxurious duplex. It looks even better than the pictures!

The apartment is very central in the downtown area and nearest to the Surasak BTS stop. It is therefore only one metro stop from Saphan Taksin. This is the metro stop where you can take boats (including the sight-seeing boat) to various important temple complexes and other sites such as the Grand Palace and National Museum.

In the apartment, there is A LOT of room for clothing and a gorgeous new refrigerator. The living room area has a lot of room for lounging around.

I had a few questions to Jakapan who answered promptly.

Two important notes:
1. the apartment is on the top two floors of a 6-floor walk up. This wasn't a problem for me partly because the apartment is so gorgeous.
2. you enter the building through the same entrance as a foot massage pallor. FYI, until you are known as the person or people who live on the top floor of the apartment by the girls who work there that sit outside asking customers to come in, you'll either be solicited for a foot massage or be followed by a girl to escort you to the food massage pallor. Communicate to them with a smile that you live upstairs, and they'll get the message and go back to waiting for customers or potential customers.

Welcome to Bangkok! ;-) <3
